I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Searched for my roll number.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.
And entered the park.
It is almost impossible.

I did not go back to my home.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
But, then it hit me hard.

I was constantly staring into the ground
All achievers in their own way.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

All the best!

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I looked around me
And, I had not made it.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Cleared multiple of them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Worked for a marketing agency
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Found an empty bench..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Anyway!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Dropped them
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
